This place was awesome in the beginning but now it's over crowded, you have to fight for machines and there is no room to work out. You can't get a parking spot between 5-8 so expect to see several cars parked in the middle of the road blocking traffic and causing road rage. If you get here when it's slow which is rare it can be a pretty good workout, but anybody with a 40 hour 9-5 schedule shouldn't even bother.

DO NOT SIGN UP HERE UNLESS YOU ARE 18. I signed up for a platinum membership and was told I would get all of these great offers, BUT when I went to go use them, for example tanning, it turns out you have to be 18. there are a lot of things you can't do here unless you are 18 which I should have been told upon signing up.

The Edge is a great gym that I highly recommend to others to join. It is large enough for you too not feel cramped in space, offers excellent cardio options and provides clients with various options for classes to take. Some amenities include a locker room with showers, a sauna, tanning, shake bar and even a childcare center. Although I love this gym, the other members who attend and the trainers who show clear skills when helping clients improve on their goals, there is a down side. The manager who runs this gym is alwa... read more

A bit on the policy/greedy side. Just called as wife's going to be away -- a temp freeze requires 30 days notice (impossible). I offered to pay a small fee and go in her place. Nope but they would be happy to take $70 from me (ALONG w/ the $ we are paying for her for Nov when she is away.) Mgr just quoted contract terms/policy. No real interest in members; just $. Not cool. Will try somewhere else.

I agree with Brian about the personnel at the front desk and the management in general. Their manager Tom Wilson always acts arrogant and none of the employees are willing to help, they don't want to issue any credits, even if you came to the kids care and decided not to stay, they will not issue a refund. My major complaint is the kids care management, more specifically their supervisor Yolanda Perkins, who is very inattentive to children's needs and is plain rude when communicating with them. I know that one of the childr... read more

The Edge Fitness Club in Meriden is one of the cheaper options in the area advertising for just 10 bucks a month. Although this price is great for what the gym offers BEWARE. First of all, most of the staff is lackluster at best with there response to any member requests or complaints. When complaining about the constant 30 minute wait on tanning. (being that there are only 3 tanning beds, for, at times, over 100 people in the gym) The two girls working the front desk belittled us after asking to downgrade our membership to ... read more

*WARNING* some misrepresentation as to what is actually "included" not "available" with the membership! I was told by a "manager" (Cindy) at this location that child care is included in the higher membership I was going to sign up for purely for the reason child care would be included only to find out a moth later that it is not! Its $5 every time you bring your child which she so conviently neglected to tell me even though its the one reason I came in. Then when I tried to call about the situation my questions were avoided ... read more
